I think your explanation is the best. The cart has the necessary extras to be on the village streets beyond golf course use but not street legally registered.

Village ready means it's been modified to go over 30 miles an hour. It also has no turn signals and the horn automatically blows when going through any of the tunnels.

A Villages Ready Golf Cart has the owners names on the front or their nicknames, such as Mamaw and Me. There must be an insignia of the owners favorite sport team and a flag on the back next to two sets of golf clubs and the golf clubs must have important looking head covers including Snoopy. There must be a small cooler attached and a urinal filled with sand to repair divots on the golf course. Many Villages cannot operate their golf cart without a large dog in the passenger seat and their leg sticking out.
